Designer Watches for Summer and Autumn

Designer watches are taking the watch market by storm, with designer options out selling many traditional watch brands such as Rotary, Seiko and Accurist.

The advent of the designer watch has changed the public’s perception of a watches being practical and boring purchase, to a stylish and fashionable one. Buying the right designer watch to go with the right outfit is now just as important as buying the right pair of shoes or the right belt.

This season we have seen even more designers joining the growing trend of releasing designer watches. Brands such as Channel, Dior D&G, Emporio Armani have now been joined by Playboy, Miss Sixty and Marc Ecko.

White has been a massive trend this season, with its dominant presence on the catwalks and our favourite celebrities. The watch world of fashion has also followed suit, with D&G creating the Sandpiper and the Sea Quest watches that cater for the true fashion follower.

However still massive this summer autumn is bling crystal or if you have the money diamonds are definitely the buzz word this season. Many of the big companies have team up with the crystal giant Swarovski to bring the effect of diamonds at fraction of the price. Guess have brought out the Prism range a range of designer watches which use Swarovski crystal to great effect to create a bezel encrust in bling but at a fraction of the price of diamonds. Others like the D&G Sitting Bull bring both the culture for bling and leather straps together so the wearer can wear with aplomb.

If however it is a watch to look like the stars you are after then maybe you look no further than the Navy by Police this black pvd watch looks not to dissimilar to Channels J12 worn by Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and Sienna Miller and many other stars.

Watches have never been so fashionable and so affordable and readily available, so we hope our run down of this season’s watches helps you get the watch you have always wanted.
